What is proposal-write?

A drafting workflow for funding proposals, letters of intent, and project summaries using structured information and project context. A funding proposal is a request for financial support, and a letter of intent is a shorter statement of planned work for a funder.

Use it to prepare grant-application drafts, project summaries, and letters of intent in a project's established voice.

It gathers relevant project and donor information before drafting, reducing missing context and repeated preparation. It provides a first draft rather than requiring the proposal to be written from an empty page.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.03637
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.01455
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00727
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00364

Security

Grade A, and why

proposal-write scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write Proposal

v3.4 — Added donor intelligence context (meeting transcripts + Gmail) to Step 3 v3.x — Auto-loaded project context, donor profile lookup, template gate as the single hard stop v3.0 — Restructured to Input Checklist → Auto-Gather Context → Donor Profile → Context Brief → Analyze → Draft

Draft a funding proposal from structured inputs, using a project's voice pack, project context, and donor intelligence. Use when drafting funding proposals, LOIs, or project summaries for grant applications.

Overview

This skill produces a first draft of a funding proposal in markdown. The flow: Input Checklist → Auto-Gather Context → Donor Profile → Context Brief → Analyze & Plan → Draft → Save → Update Donor Profile → Log.

The voice pack loads automatically. Context gathering runs automatically after the checklist to provide richer inputs without manual effort.

Pre-approved tools: Google Workspace MCP and filesystem reads. Call them directly — no Task agents.

Voice Pack (Optional)

If you maintain a voice pack with your writing style:

@~/.claude-assistant/voice/PROPOSAL_VOICE.md
@~/.claude-assistant/voice/PROPOSAL_EXAMPLES.md

Create these files with your own writing style preferences: sentence length, active vs. passive voice, hedging rules, formatting conventions. If not found, the skill warns and continues with general academic voice rules.

Instructions

Step 1: Input Checklist (start here — this is the skill's primary value)

Present this checklist immediately and collect all inputs before proceeding. This catches missing documents early — the single most important thing this skill does.

PROPOSAL INPUT CHECKLIST

REQUIRED:
1. [ ] Funder name and program: ___
2. [ ] Application template / form fields / guidelines
      (Defines the structure. Without it, the draft may need restructuring.)
3. [ ] Research design document or project overview
4. [ ] Budget ceiling or range: ___
5. [ ] Deadline: ___

IF RESUBMISSION:
6. [ ] Previous submission file
7. [ ] Reviewer comments

RECOMMENDED:
8. [ ] Strategic framing notes (what to emphasize/downplay for this funder)

AUTO-LOADED (skill finds these automatically):
9.  [x] Team roster and roles (from project config)
10. [x] Project status and progress (from project config)
11. [x] Strategic priorities (from project config)
12. [x] Related proposals to other funders (auto-scanned for consistency)
13. [x] Donor profile (if available)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
